The most useful thing I learned in college is the ability of self-study and critical thinking, which I will slowly expand on later.
The ability to think critically is to be able to accept the expression of diverse viewpoints and to be more open and tolerant about and accepting viewpoints that are different from or even diametrically opposed to your own. This is very important and is very important to the cultivation of a person's thinking habits. There are benefits. What is critical thinking? Critical thinking includes the process of insight, analysis, and evaluation in the thinking process. It includes the thought reaction process that may be tangible or intangible in order to obtain a positive judgment, and makes the scientific basis consistent with daily common sense. Critical thinking is the literal translation of English Critical Thinking. In modern society, critical thinking is generally established as one of the goals of education, especially higher education. The basic elements of critical thinking are claims, issues, and arguments. Identifying, analyzing, and evaluating these building blocks are key to critical thinking.
For example, in the modern history of China, we always emphasize that the Qing government lost power and humiliated the country. It seemed to be useless. It was an extremely backward, corrupt and incompetent government. There is no doubt about this. The Qing Dynasty was indeed incompetent and corrupt to a considerable extent, but it was not without merit. It played an extremely crucial role in the development of China's modernization, which is ignored by many ordinary people.
Specifically, the Qing Dynasty selected and dispatched capable and practical bureaucrats to carry out the Westernization Movement, established a number of military and civilian enterprises and factories, and laid an important cornerstone for the early industrialization and development of China, such as Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Zuo Zongtang and others were all famous officials at that time. The foundation laid by the Qing Dynasty had great positive significance for the transformation from traditional China to modern China, which should be remembered by future generations.
In academic discussions, book readings and related courses in more diversified and open universities, you will find that the Qing court was not a fool. It had its own calculations. On the one hand, it hoped to preserve the ruling order of the Aisin Gioro family for eternity, but on the other hand, in order to develop the country and quell the uprising against foreigners, the Qing government had to objectively carry out a series of reform activities to enhance its own power. Strength, such as the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, was the last failed attempt. But the direction of its efforts is still worthy of our awe. This is the objectivity and inevitability of history.
Diversity of thinking and critical thinking are very important when thinking about solutions to problems in college. There are no hard-and-fast answers or ready-made meals. But we know that the charm of the humanities lies in the sparks of constantly updated ideas and wisdom. The evaluation of characters and the controversy over different views on current social events will attract our attention. The way of a university lies in being virtuous and being close to the people. Therefore, critical thinking, that is, critical thinking, I think is crucial. You cannot be confused and bound by existing authorities and answers, but need to think repeatedly and make your own judgments. Our most precious moments, our most precious moments, require critical thinking.
For another example, when I saw in the news whether an old man should be helped or not, I felt very confused. I always feel that helping others is a matter of course and a virtue of our people. But after reading a lot of news about people being blackmailed, I have some understanding of those who don't help others. When the moral order of the entire society tends to be extremely distrustful, the cost of trust will greatly increase, which makes us face greater moral pressure and economic costs. Instead of blaming passers-by for their indifference, it is better to reflect on what is wrong with society’s moral atmosphere and institutional guarantees. As the saying goes, what goes up leads to destructive effect. When there are endless cousins, tigers and flies jumping everywhere, it is hard to imagine that more people in the world can take the initiative to show their kindness. Kindness and integrity need to be protected. Blind moral kidnapping seems to me to be an irrational and broad behavior that is meaningless.
College is the golden age of learning and education in life, and we call for critical thinking even more. University teaches you how to learn, how to think, how to question, and how to find solutions. This is very interesting.
I summarize as follows:
In an era surrounded by overflowing information, if you want to be a person with the ability to say: I think the truth is...?
We can't be empty-minded and at the mercy of others?
We can’t rely on other people’s ideas to survive?
Can’t we always live like angry youths?
We need to ask ourselves why?
Start from the importance and necessity of critical thinking, how to think correctly and write clearly, to the rules of effective argumentation, reasonable deduction and inductive reasoning, to morality, law and Aesthetic arguments are elaborated in detail, and various examples of using rhetorical techniques to cover up false arguments are also pointed out. Critical thinking is comprehensively discussed to help us fully understand and master the basic principles, rules, and rules of reasonable and correct thinking. Requirements, techniques and training methods.
